How to create a submenu in CMS
Does anyone know how to create a submenu using CMS? I am trying to add a
submenu 'tools' under 'documenation' in Apache Aries web site. I have /tools
directory and tools.mdtext created under the directory of 'documenation'. I
cannot make 'tools' show up as a menu item under 'documentation'. Is there
anything else I should do? Google around CMS but did not find anything
useful:(.

It seems to be working perfectly on the staged build. Did you fix it
after you sent the note?

Thanks Zoe. Updated the navigation.mdtext. It does not seem to work:-(. I
just added the following lines into navigation.mdtext:
<div class="menuitem">
<a href="/documentation/tools.html">Tools</a>
</div>
Did I miss anything?
Thanks

This is not really anything to do with CMS, it's more to do with how the
Aries site is set up.
If you look here https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/aries/site/trunk/ you
will see that there is content directory (where most of the content is)
and there is a templates directory. In templates you will find a file
called navigation.mdtext. This is the file you need to modify to make
things appear in the submenus.
You may also want to take a look at the javascript file that deals with
proper opening and closing of menus - this is content/resources/menu.js.
You shouldn't need to look at this.
When you have this working it would be helpful to document it here:
http://aries.apache.org/development/maintainingthewebpages.html. It
looks like I forgot :-/
